Sat, 04 Aug 2018 00:22:16 GMTBeing a fan of the 6.5 caliber, I was somewhat curious about the 6.5-270WSM cartridge so I did a bit of internet searching.

As...Being a fan of the 6.5 caliber, I was somewhat curious about the 6.5-270WSM cartridge so I did a bit of internet searching. I came across a discussion of it, the 6.5-06 and the 270WSM. This was on the savageshooters.com website message boards. A poster was looking to build a 270WSM or 6.5-06.

As a recommendation for the 6.5-06 one poster made the following statement since cases for the 6.5-06 are easiest to make from .25-06 cases. The post is about 6 years old.

"It would be nearly the same for the 6.5-06. I would choose to neck up 25-06 brass instead of necking down other brass. Just run it into the 6.5-06 die and your done forming. Necking up brass is an easier step than necking down. Check the length and you're good to go."

So how on earth do you neck up a smaller case by running it up into a larger die? The proper way to expand the neck would be to use a carbide mandrel and you'd probably want that in a .270 size die.

Why not simply seat the 6.5 bullet in the .25-06 case without doing anything else. If a boattail bullet is used there should be little chance of squishing the neck or collapsing the shoulder. So would seating a bullet like that result in too much neck tension? Is it possible to have such a thing as too much neck tension? I've never had any issues with seating 6.5 bullets in .25-06 cases.

Another approach would be to use once-fired .25-06 cases since the neck on those would be a bit larger than on new brass, but likely not require any additional tinkering. If one used .270 cases, they'd need to be trimmed about .050 and sized in the 6.5-06 FL die.

I need .267 and .268 diameter bushings for a .272 ND 6BR and have had no luck contacting Mr. Mundy. (He was to special order them in April with a 12 week wait time but I cannot get a response from him now via email or cell phone.)

Several sources offer bushings suitable for .262 and .268 neck diameters but I am striking out finding the correct bushings for my no turn neck chambers. I have a new 6 BRA being built with a .268 ND as soon as Ronnie Long gets them chambered and I am all set for this caliber. But I have some varmint 6BR barrels requiring these bushings.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Wed, 01 Aug 2018 19:09:52 GMTI recently got my third rifle in ,222 rem. At 100m ita grouping around 10mm or 3/8".
My other two grouped well to. One of them was a Savage 24 of and it was always under 1".
And it seems non important what they are fed, always respectful accuracy.
Why is the ,222 so forgiving and and overall accurate?
For example my experience with the ,223 and 22-250 is not as pleasant?

I woke up suddenly at 3:AM Sunday morning with a terrible chest pain, going down into my left arm.

I got to the hospitol by ambulance. The crew emmediatly gave me aspirin, oxygen, and a nitro tab.

My blood pressure was 218 over 110......bad Really bad. By 5:00 AM, The pain was subsiding, but I felt pretty bad.

The initial blood enzymes showed a minor event. By mid Sunday morning, the Cardiologist decided to do an echo cardiogram and a Heart Catherization .

I just got back from both procedures, ( it's Monday eavning), and the news couldn't be better. The echo showed a strong heart with good rhythm and a good rate.

The catherization showed some blockage in various arteries, but not enough to warrant a ballon expansion or any stints. The culprit was a small artery that he described like a twig on the end of a small branch on a tree. It was 98 percent blocked, causing the "event". The cardiologist said it would self heal.

My heart is strong, beats good, and shows no damage.

The kicker is I will now have to be on blood pressure, blood thinning, and cholesterol meds. Since I have never taken anything, I guess I will have to bite the bullet and do it.

By definition, I do have coronary desease. I am also an old man.I will have to learn to live with it.

Most of you know I almost died from kidney failure about 8 years ago. Any meds will have to take into consideration the fact that no harm can come to what's left of my kidneys.

Anyway, I will get on with life.

Sun, 29 Jul 2018 23:09:17 GMTAlmost 5 years ago I asked about Tubal 3000 as i bought an 8# jug cheap. I shot some in my 223 and 6 BR and it shot well. A few mentioned there were reports of this powder going bad, even accused of a house fire. I haven't shot any in 2-3 years. Today I got the jug out and noted a slightly sticky liquid running down the jug. Cautiously, I opened the jug and reddish fumes came out...very acrid! I shone a light into the jug and noted the powder was reddish in color. I poured some into a plastic bowl and it had a red tint, but in just a very few seconds, the color faded to the grayish color of normal powder. I had 1/2# in an old Vhitavouri 1# container and it was the same as the Noble jug. I will not trust this propellent as a chemical /physical reaction has taken place and who knows what burn characteristics have changed. Has Noble been aware of this powder's behavior? Has there been a recall or warning? I did a search re Tubal 3000 and there were stories similar to mine! I have some N 135 that is 17 years old and it smells great and shoots likewise. All my powders are in the same room and none have gone bad, till now. Observation/comments appreciated.

He's in a residential area with no 3-Phase running to his shops. 120A service panels.

Guys on some forums are saying it "requires a rotary phase converter" while I'm suggesting a cheap VFD

Does anyone here know of situations where a VFD WILL NOT WORK to replace an old school phase converter?

The action is supposed to be trued. free floated. The trigger could be a little lighter but I might take it hunting this fall. Im guessing 3 or 4 lbs. Got a leupold 4.5 to 14 on it. Tried a lot of powders and bullets the best group I ever got was .5 and the worst was probably 1.5 , probably me. Got a hornady f. l. bushing die trying to F.L. resize. Got the semi hard bolt close. My question. Could I gain a straighter case by neck sizing? I don't have a neck sizing die for 6.5 cm. should I buy one? Had the best luck with varget or imr 4064. Bullets? Itll shoot 130s good one time and 140s good the next time. Should I buy a neck sizer? Doug
